Renewable technologies
It’s never been more important to work together and cut down carbon emissions where ever we can. Renewable energy technologies harness power from alternative sources, such as solar and wind to power buildings of all sizes. We want to make it as easy as possible to choose a better substitute to traditional energy sources in your builds and renovations. We’ve put together a few resources on this page to help guide you through some renewable technology options and allow you to make the best decision for your project. Don’t forget, our Making Better Homes team are available for support and further information.
Solar PV
The solar PV market is bigger than ever. With rising energy prices and ambitious Net Zero targets leading the UK away from fossil fuels, solar PV has become one of the easiest, most cost-effective ways of generating renewable energy for homes and businesses.
Solar thermal
Solar thermal systems allow householders to utilise the power of the sun to provide hot water to their home. With zero CO₂ emissions, solar thermal is an environmentally responsible alternative to traditional energy sources, and can be easily incorporated into a new or existing heating system.
Air source heat pumps
Air source heat pump uses heat energy from the air, and converts it into energy to heat homes. Grant heat pumps are ‘air-to-water’, which means that they extract useful heat from the outside air, and transfer it into ‘wet’ heating systems such as radiators or underfloor heating.
Sedum roofing
Sedum roofs are flowered panels that can be attached to garden shed roofs, outbuildings or even extensions. This means they’re ideal for homeowners who are not only environmentally-conscious, but have a smaller garden space to work with.
